Despite loving Devin Townsend, I overlooked this for long. Not for it's change in sound but it's so "tucked away" from his other releases, I never managed to find a copy of it in stores, until I bought it cheap on Itunes. Devin described it as "an nice album to doze off to" And it is. Something does disturb it though, from "Consciousness Causes Collapse to The Abacus" it's a bit to uneasy on the ears. Fro the rest it's fine. Cosmic Surf is very relaxing.
